The sentient Wyverns of Kalimdor were eager to ally themselves with the Shamanistic Horde. Impressed by the Orcs'
commitment to honor and victory, the Wyverns allowed the Orcs to ride them into combat against those who would
disturb the tranquility of Kalimdor and its denizens. The Wyverns, who share a common ancestry with both Dragons
and Gryphons, use their powerful talons and razor-like fangs against both airborne attackers and ground troops.

Wind Riders are popular among Orc commanders because
they can Bloodlust them for even more damage. Orc players use a combination of Wind Riders and
Shamans. It's very important to research upgrades. Wind Riders are especially useful when
you surprise the enemy with them and catch them without anti-air defenses.

Research Envenomed Spears (Passive)
Adds an additional poison effect to the Wind Rider's Attack. A unit poisoned by the
Envenomed Spear takes an additional 4 damage per second over 25 seconds.
